COUNTY COUNCIL


Common-sense Dana will bring balance

I am writing this letter to urge voters to elect Steve Dana to the Snohomish County Council. I have known Steve for many years going back to the early 1990s when I was mayor of Brier and Steve was mayor of Snohomish.

I have gotten to know Steve much better since both of us left elective office. Even though we come from different perspectives politically, we find ourselves agreeing more often than not because common sense doesn’t belong to a political party. Steve has good ideas and thoughtful solutions I would appreciate in my leaders today.

Steve Dana is a smart guy motivated to serve average people because they are the ones without an advocate. With all the political rancor swirling around government today, it is refreshing to discuss political issues with a guy who has ideas and solutions without an ax to grind.

I look forward to the balance he will bring to the job.

I am encouraging everyone I know who can vote in East Snohomish County to vote for Steve Dana.
